So how many Asbo's do you think he would've gotten for "Rug Head Parking"? |

A man who was made subject to an Anti-Social Behaviour Order for putting up a sign saying “porking yard” in his pub car park, because it was offensive to Muslims, today described the court action as “a joke”.
Leroy Trought, 42, was given a two-year Asbo at a hearing at Bristol Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
Magistrates ordered him to change the wording of the “porking yard” sign at The Swan With Two Necks in St Judes, Bristol, to “parking yard”.
He was ordered not to display any signs that may be threatening, abusive or insulting at the pub, which is next to a Somali mosque.
The order was sought by Avon and Somerset Police and Bristol City Council after a series of complaints from residents in the St Judes area.
A spokeswoman for Bristol City Council said: “The Asbo was sought after we received a number of complaints from the wider community who found the sign to be racially and sexually offensive.”
But Mr Trought today said that imposing the Asbo was a joke.
He said the sign was intended to commemorate the large number of butchers’ shops that used to be located in the area and he had never intended to cause any offence.
He said: “We ran a competition in the pub to think of a funny name for the car park and one of the customers came up with the name ‘the porking yard’.

Somali-born Khalil Abdi, who is street warden in the area, said the sign was deliberately provoking the Muslim community.
Speaking to the Bristol Evening Post, he said: “Because of my faith I am required to attend the mosque in the education centre to pray.
“I regularly use the learning centre in Wade Street, which is near to the pub, with my fellow Somali friends.
“Muslims do not eat pork but the sign has a picture of a pig and the words ‘porking yard’.
“My friends and I were angered and upset by the sign and we have welcomed the court ruling ordering the sign to be changed. I definitely think it is provocative and insulting to Muslims.”

I guess they will also have to take Porky Pig off the air, how can we have a cartoon character represent a sexual act by his very nature...thhhhhaaatttssss all folks....
The bastards will have no trouble knowing when I decide to "deliberately provoke" them...
Who do we contact - to let the Islamist bastards in Arab countries know how freaking provoked I am by the fact a Christian chapel doesn't exist in Saudi Arabia???????
I'm also totally provoked by the crap they teach in their Mosques, Schools and Homes ---- when it involves them killing me and mine.
Muslims should be thrilled they're not treated like non-Muslims in their Turd World countries..
Semper Fi
That man has the longest neck I've ever seen.
Any time :-). Maybe some day I'll get on Jeopardy!

I was in the British Isles a lot during the 90's. Wonderful place. Nifty people. Bristol is nice little city, a town actually, by American standards, in the Southwest toe of England. But, just like us, the Left has gotten into power and, like us, has rejected their own culture to become "cosmopolitan". It's too bad. The immigrants from the old British Empire are ruining the place, just as illegal immigration is ruining the US.
I suppose the Labour Government will have to ban Harley dealers in the UK to cater to the Muslims sensibilities. How many years do you give the US before we have to ban HOG chapters in deference to our Muslim "brothers"?. You know that under Joan Claybrook, the Director of the Dept. of Transportation under the Carter Administration, she wished that Harley-Davidson and; "all those nasty bikers would just go away!" The elites of the Democratic Party are suspicious of Harley types. Too independent, untrustworthy, not "intellectual".
England seems to be the "Canary-in-the-coal-mine", when it comes to the future of Western Culture and society.
lighten up PING!
Maybe we should send them a Broadsword poster to display!
Your post is quite accurate. I hope that with a Conservative Government we can start getting things back to how they used to be. I shall be passing through Bristol tomorrow so will keep an eye out for the pub and the surrounding Muslims. I shall keep a bacon sandwich with me at all times.
Enough of these pious apes!
Muslims are are-so-sensitive, aren't they? Funny, it doesn't stop them from teaching their children that jews are really descended from pigs and that christians are inferior dogs.
I can't believe the Brits have to abide by this stupid ruling. I can't believe a judge made this stupid ruling.
Not here! Never here! Let's stop it NOW; it's already gone too far in America. I declare my right to free speech is inviolate (besides the fire in a crowded theatre); and if you take offense, Muhammad, Hassan, or Ahmed, then get the he!! out of my country!
White, Christian/Jewish/ Proud Non-Islamic Infidel. Deal with it.
What is a "street warden" in England?
And what is an Asbo?
Apparently someone who looks for porkers, er pouchers, on the street.
Spam! Spam in a sock! Either canned, if facing a vicious mob or un-canned (de-canned?), so you don't receive an "ASBO".
Cheers.
Reminds me of the story of a shrink administering an ink blot test and the patient seeing a sexually explicit picture each time. The shrink says the patient is obsessed with sex and the patient replies, "Me!! You are the one drawing all the dirty pictures!"
"pork steaks on the menu"
AND post the menu on the door
